Today we are heading down to Rotorua, about a 5 hour drive, and run is on Saturday. Packing was successful last night - never want to forget anything important for a big race so had everything I need (and plenty more) laid out on the bed for double and triple checking (plus plenty more things not included in this photo).

| Running essentials - including double ups - can never be too careful. |
But before all of the race buzz begins, today my day started with the alarm sounding at 5am to get up and get to the ANZAC dawn parade. Time to remember the real heroes of our country and history before heading off on a big trip. Also time to remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us, just like all those very brave soldiers 97 years ago.

Marathon countdown: 3 more sleeps... Eek!

ReplyDeleteLove this Rach! I am also so thankful to all those ANZACs who paid the ultimate price for our freedom today, and of course, to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHope your run is fantastic! Will be great to do one of these with you one day! Can't wait for the day when I will be strong enough to start running again, really miss my daily 10kms.
